Thanks... actually, everything works perfectly unless the router is literally within 1 foot of the cordless phone, while I'm on it... then, music will stop streaming. Of course, since it's recommended to keep the router AWAY from the phone base station, this should normally be a problem!

I have a Netgear 814 router with MA 111 wireless adapter, and a Panasonic 2.4 GHz phone (new model).

I'm thrilled with the wireless connection to my TiVo... wish I had done this ages ago!

Thanks!

Thanks.....................^^

I do not have a phone(except for my cell) and no Internet connection(except through my cell phone with PDA Net) and I need to finish setting up my Toshiba SDH-400 server. Can someone help?? Explain how I can either use my cell phone for Tivo to make the call or use my cell as a network.

If you are trying to get your TiVo, Sony, Toshiba or Pioneer Series2 DVR to work with a Linksys wireless adapter, please read this thread:

Thanks,

[edited to fix bad link -- sorry about that, bad cut and paste job]

went to that thread, it's last post was 2007
this thread's last post was over a year ago
I take it the only list of wireless adapters is the official tivo list
there is no list of user tried and tested adapters?
thanks

Correct. TiVo gave up on trying to use PC wireless adapters because it was both hard for them to get the info they need to write MIPS coded drivers, and for their customers to tell the difference between adapters they did support and ones they didn't. So TiVo made their own adapter they knew all about, and the TiVo user community went along with it, because it works so well. Any USB wireless adapter you can buy today, apart from the TiVo adapter, is guaranteed to not work with TiVo. The only "generic" adapters that work are WiFi to Ethernet bridges, on TiVos with Ethernet or a USB Ethernet adapter.

Another benefit to TiVo making their own adapter is that they intentionally didn't do it "winmodem" style, but built in extra brains to the adapter itself so that the TiVo had to provide it with electrical power, but not with processing power.

They should have written drivers for it that let them sell it for use with PCs.

My series 2 Humax TiVo has been running fine with my old NETGEAR router and NETGEAR WG111 wireless adapter for years. However my old router died and I replaced it with a NETGEAR WNDR3400v2 router that uses WPA or WPA2 security and I can no longer connect to the TiVo service. I am pretty sure I need to get a new TiVo wireless G adapter, but before I purchase one I just want to be sure it will be compatible with my router security. Can anyone confirm this?

Doesn't the new router allow you to choose different levels of security or even none at all?

The new router allows WPA, WPA2 or none. I assume I need some sort of security, if i choose none wont my wireless signal be open to all?

The TiVo lets me choose between WEP or WPA but if I choose WPA it says my wireless adapter is not up to it.

I dont mind purchasing the new adapter, I just want to be pretty sure it will work before I pay the cash for it.

Thanks,

Marcus

According to TiVo

Quote:

TiVo boxes require a compatible wireless adapter to connect to a wireless network. The TiVo Wireless G adapter is recommended because it can be used on networks that have WEP security, or WPA security, WPA-2 (Personal) security.
